These rules will outline the expected behavior of all players on the Atlas server. Punishments for breaking these rules vary and are up to admin and moderator discretion. Please read them thoroughly and ask any questions you have. Also, keep in mind that rules are subject to change at any time depending on circumstances and future updates. We want Atlas to be fun for everyone, so make sure you know the rules!

A few points of clarification:

Any rule violations can result in punishment without a formal warning. We try to warn people, especially newer players, but it's not a guarantee. Make sure to follow the rules!

All punishments are brought up to the Staff as a whole, and approved by a majority of staff. If you are punished, it's because multiple members of Staff, never just one individual, agree you broke the rules.

The Staff team, Moderators, Developers, and Admins are all volunteers. All donations go back into running the server, not to pay individuals. So keep in mind, you’re dealing with people who are taking on extra responsibility for the sole reason of trying to make the server a better place!

1. General

Listen to staff! If Admins or Staff ask you to do (or not do) something - follow it!

Behavior that negatively affects the community (at the discretion of Admins and Staff) is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to: picking on new players, excessive bickering, or general assholery.

Do not ignore or act publicly defiant in the face of a Staff request. If you have a genuine issue with the request, DM Staff privately. Repeatedly talking back to Staff in public chats will result in punishment.

2. Griefing

Do not destroy or alter any player’s build unless allowed by the player or staff.

Do not unnecessarily damage the landscape of the server outside of sieges.

Do not create 1x1 towers without the intent to remove them shortly afterward.

Do not intentionally destroy, incinerate, or throw another player’s items on the ground with the intent to despawn them.

3. Alternate Accounts

Players are NOT allowed to have multiple accounts on the server.

4. Modifications

No modified clients.

No use of any form of x-ray. This includes both mods and texture packs.

No unnecessarily large redstone contraptions that could lag the server can be built.

8. Exploitation

Don’t exploit bugs found on the server.

Report any found bugs or exploits. If you have reported a bug or exploit, it is considered against the rules to use until you have received a definitive answer on its use from Staff.

Don’t log jump.

No block glitching.

No flying machines, or use of pistons to avoid town protection.

9. Role Playing and Lore

Role Playing and original player lore are welcomed on the server! However, do not inhibit another player’s RP experience by forcing outlandish or nonsensical claims upon them.

When critiquing lore, all criticism must be constructive. If you have nothing helpful to say, don’t say anything at all.

Lore must happen within Atlas or be related to Atlas.

All lore is written from a player’s perspective or about a player. No use of omnipotent beings to relay stories or information.

No using outside information a character would not normally know to aid them.

A player’s character cannot be too powerful. All characters that are considered too powerful will be universally rejected.

For active in-game RP, use the [Roleplay] chat channel.

Keep RP chat out of other channels. Likewise, keep non-RP chat out of this channel.

Community and chat etiquette rules still apply in the RP channel.

Players are allowed to roleplay “negative” interactions as long as they remain civil - however, do not target a player’s (or their character’s) skill. (i.e. “Your soldiers are pathetic on the battlefield!” is a dig at players’ skill at the game as much as it is at their characters.)
